Understanding Myopia
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects are seen clearly. Myopia often begins in childhood and can progress rapidly, increasing the risk of eye health issues in the future. At G&G Eye Doctors, we offer comprehensive myopia control and management to slow down its progression and protect your child's vision.
Why Myopia Control is Important
Uncontrolled myopia can lead to higher prescriptions and an increased risk of eye conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. Early intervention with myopia control can reduce these risks and preserve long-term eye health.

Why Choose Myopia Control?
Slow Myopia Progression
Our myopia control treatments are designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness, reducing the risk of high myopia and associated eye health complications in the future.
Customized Treatment Plans
We provide individualized treatment plans tailored to your child's specific needs, using the latest advancements in myopia control methods for the best possible outcomes.
Comprehensive Eye Care
Our approach to myopia control includes regular eye exams and ongoing monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment plan and adjust as needed.
How Does Myopia Control Work?
Myopia control involves a combination of treatments aimed at slowing the elongation of the eye, which causes myopia to progress. The primary methods we use include orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses that reshape the cornea overnight, multifocal contact lenses that provide clear vision at all distances, and atropine eye drops that help to slow eye growth. Each of these methods has been proven effective in managing myopia progression.
Our team will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your child, taking into consideration factors such as age, lifestyle, and the degree of myopia. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
Who Can Benefit from Myopia Control?
Children with Progressive Myopia
Children whose myopia is progressing rapidly are prime candidates for myopia control. Early intervention can significantly slow down the progression, reducing the risk of developing high myopia and related eye health issues.
Parents with Myopia
If one or both parents have myopia, their children are at a higher risk of developing high progressive myopia as well. Myopia control can help manage this risk and prevent the condition from worsening.
Children with High Screen Time
Increased screen time and near work activities are linked to myopia progression. Myopia control can be especially beneficial for children who spend a lot of time on digital devices or reading.
Active Children
For children who are active in sports and outdoor activities, myopia control methods like Ortho-K lenses provide freedom from daytime glasses and contact lenses, allowing them to enjoy clear vision without restrictions, all while preventing progressive myopia.
